Goodreads asked Bonnie St. John:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Bonnie St. John I call it a "license to hunt." Writing "How Great Women Lead" with my daughter gave us the right to seek out our heroes and things we were interested in. We met with Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, President of Liberia, an orchestra conductor, and a fighter pilot. Darcy was interested in "Seeds of Peace" so we visited the camp for a few days. We went to Facebook headquarters and wrote on THE wall there.
Writing a book gives you a reason to go places, meet people, and ask the questions you have always wanted to ask. Many people think writing a book is about showing how smart you are...I think it is a chance to learn the things you always wanted to learn.
